With public spending being cut and rises in taxes (VAT) the taxpayer is trying to support the spendaholics in Westminster`s addiction to spending our money.

Well according to Sky their Lordships wanna spend 100k on doing up their bogs!

It Says :

"Taxpayers will fund a refurbishment of two toilets used
by peers and VIP guests at the Palace of Westminster - at an
"eye-watering" cost of up to £100,000.

The men's and women's lavatories in the House of Lords are in
"unacceptable condition for the high profile area they are in",
according to an advert inviting contractors to bid for the work.
The rooms are not the only toilets in the building and are not
particularly big, with one cubicle and two urinals in the men's toilets
and one cubicle plus a hand basin in the women's." From golden handshakes to a golden pisstake , have our masters no shame?

KT is a supporter of free speech and the freedom of expression ( link ) so when KT heard about this he was concerned, Free speech and peaceful protest is for everyone including EDL morons.

If the state can take away their freedom to peaceful protest then who next?

Note : KT heard "Left wing fascist" shouted in video, KT is not sure but thinks it came from EDL bloke, if it did he must not see the irony, The EDL single out and target Muslims like Hitler did the Jews, Hitler was a socialist......

Note 2 : KT does not support the EDL morons, but even morons like them have the right to freedom of expression and the right to peaceful protest!

This saddens KT, One human taking the life of another, This is a report from RT :

"A video purportedly showing an extrajudicial public beheading of two
Bashar Assad loyalists has been uploaded onto the internet. Its
authenticity has been verified by pro and anti-Assad sources, though it
remains unclear who is behind the execution."

KT having a read thro some stuff last night after QT when he came across this story by Ken Loach :

In the piece he says :

"In order to fight back, we need to understand the reasons for the attack
on the NHS. This is an ideological issue. If it were simply a matter of
finance, there are solutions to hand. There are billions of pounds in
unpaid and uncollected taxes. Trillions, we are told, are kept offshore,
beyond the reach of national governments. The wealth that is created by
the work of ordinary people is siphoned off so that it cannot be used
for the common good. If the political will to sustain a publicly funded
health service existed, a way would be found."

KT is still laughing at this as it is well known to most people that the Guardian itself has avoided tax

Video via GuidoFawkesBut then KT nearly sprayed his screen when he came to this part :

"If ever there were a time for there to be a broadly based movement,
democratic and principled, that stood for the interests of the people
against the demands of business and the politicians who speak for them,
that moment is now."

Principled like moaning about tax avoidance in a tax avoiding media outlet? Champagne Socialism at its finest!

After being the party that bailed out the banks you would think Labour Mps would be a bit humble for a while, but no, when offered the chance to question the Chancellor on the floor of the house this labour MP wanted to crack a joke :

"Mickey Arthur has been sacked as Australia's head coach less than three
weeks before the start of the Ashes. Cricket Australia is yet to
officially announce the decision but the chief executive James
Sutherland and general manager of team performance Pat Howard are due to
hold a press conference in Bristol on Monday morning (UK time) to
confirm the move.

Darren Lehmann, the successful Queensland coach, is considered a leading
contender to replace Arthur at short notice. Lehmann is in England
having just finished a tour as mentor of the Australia A outfit and has
won rave reviews for the tough and somewhat old-school approach he has
taken with Queensland since he was appointed in 2011."

Update 2 : Its was a different story a few months ago

They denied Darren Lehmann was being considered then and now is rumored to be taking over, just goes to prove that old sayin "Dont believe anything till been denied" ;)

A lot of people complain about lack of manners among the young people of today, KT just thinks they are following the example society sets them.

It takes a few seconds to hat-tip to show appreciation for the person that has made the clip and as both sites have previously hat-tip liarpoliticians KT is wondering why the high standards that both sites usually meet have been allowed to drop on something as basic manners?

Not much gets up my nose more than people singling out people for there race/religion/sexuality/gender etc , KT believes that good and bad people are not exclusive to one race/religion/gender/sexuality etc

So when KT hears a political activist in the USA send a message to white people his head hit the desk :

It is not white v black v espanic or any combination of them, its the people V the State that is the battle, the state is now the master instead of the servant (as it was once envisaged ), the state has the power not the people.

So KT came in from the boozer, switched on the tele box and was flicking thro the channels (as you do), he flicked on to channel 113 (universal) the program advertised was "Law and Order, Special Victims Unit" so imagine my surprise when KT was greeted with these pictures :

And :

Followers that have Sky will know that you cant get program info up if not on that channel (standard box, austerity right?) .

"So what has happened? The Council of Ministers has met and voted to support a proposal to ban menthol cigarettes (although some Ministers such as the Polish Minister has opposed the move). This proposal will not become law unless the European Parliament votes it through.You might at this point think I am being a little bit over the top? A mere technicality you say!"

"Now hectoring health ministers at a meeting in Luxembourg have agreed a prohibition on menthol cigarettes to try to stop younger generations from smoking. It now needs to go through the European Parliament"

What technicality?
Anyway Lib Con also said it was the "Right Wing Press" , So let KT introduce readers to the right wing Huff Post :

Dear Mr Bowden,
Thank you for contacting the Independent Police Complaint Commission (IPCC). We
acknowledge receipt of your email dated 18 June 2013.
Unfortunately we cannot pursue a complaint about an incident that has been seen
in the media, in this case a television programme.
The Police Reform Act 2002 states that a complaint can be made by any person
adversely affected by an incident. This includes distress, inconvenience, loss
or damage, or being put in danger or at risk. This might apply for example, to
other people present at the incident or to the parent of a child or young person
or friend of the person directly affected. It does not include someone
distressed by watching an incident on television or reading about it in the
media.
However any complaints received from individuals involved would be considered in
the normal way as set out in the Police Reform Act 2002. The Independent Police
Complaints Commission appreciates that you took the time to write and express
your views. You may wish to pass your comments onto the police service
concerned.
Regards,
Angela Beart

The young people involved had there faces blurred by

TV company so impossible to identify.

Its not about me being "distressed" , its about whether the police officer intimidated the young person by suggesting "he cant have it both ways" which could be taken to mean "stop joyriding or we wont come round and help when your dad hits you next time"

KT would just like someone to look at it, no more, no less.If us adults cant speak up for young people then we are doing things wrong!

It has to be hard to be Vince Cable right now, unpopular in the polls and in bed with the Conservative party.

But at least he is consistent on tax avoidance, actually no, he is not, you see in the Sunday Times this was reported :

"Sudhir Choudhrie, whose family has donated £650,000 to the party since
2004, has been placed on an internal party list of future peers. Until
three years ago Choudhrie, who has personally given £95,000 of that sum,
was not domiciled in Britain for tax purposes."

Yet only a while ago Vince Cable said he was against tax avoidance (video dated nov 2012 ) but donations from tax avoiders were taken by his party.....

KT does not expect to get any sympathy from this post but KT hopes people just think about it.

KT sent an E-mail to the IPCC the other night over a program called "Road Wars" , KT is not a shrinking violet nor a prude and has himself been arrested before, however something i saw concerned me.

A young lad had been joyrider on a motorbike and had evaded the police for 2 days, the police finally caught him and his mates, one of the young people was sat in police car (in the front passenger`s seat) and an police officer sat in drivers seat.

This is the e-mail :

When KT heard this he was stunned, What has joyriding got to do with an officers previous encounter with the young person?

But what has got me the most was what the Police officer said

"you begged me for help when you dad hit you, you cant have it both ways"

Was the officer saying that if the young person broke the law any pleas for help because his dad was hitting him was going to be ignored?

Young people who have been abused at home get in trouble with the police, its a cry for help, Young people who have been abused dont think or act like others. KT is not saying that the joyriding should not be punished but to suggest that the police would abandon this young person if he was hit by his dad again is (in my mind) out of order.

Note : KT does not have the video and does not know when this episode is from (apart from when broadcast) and if any action has been taken (or indeed investigated and cleared) .

I agree with the content of what Mr Galloway said, no-one should be silenced because they are English or Welsh or Scottish or French etc , we should welcome open debate and even if we disagree with the views, I mean Mr Galloway has met some of the brutal dictators around and chatted with them.

However, Asked to debate with an Israeli and you get a different story :

As you can see no hat-tip for the video, KT checked and it is not one of their own, it is done by liarpoliticians (who Guido has used a lot and always hat-tipped) , so KT is disappointed that no hat-tip appears this time.

Readers will know KT is not a fan of ODI cricket however with the ICC Champions Trophy happening in Wales And England and it is the last Champions Trophy KT has been tuning in to see what happens and to see if England (led by the dynamic Capt Cook ) can win on home soil.

However something else caught KT`s eye, The legend that is Billy Bowden somehow managed to take centre stage other day :

Lord Oakeshott seems to say that the police do not investigate alleged crimes by politicians as seriously as they would if it were non politicians, Is he really suggesting that we are not all equal in the eyes of the law?

KT thought at first that his crappy lappy was playing up, however KT run all the anti virus stuff and still had same result , Someone nicked Guido`s Twitter feed which normally sits in the top right corner (where the "t" is) :

KT cant see what benefit it would be for someone to nick a twitter feed!

KT was on youtube looking for footage of "bedroom tax" protests, not from when this government took office but from when Labour introduced it, KT could not find any for some reason but he did come across this, Liam Bryne addressing a crowd

Now apart from being total hypocrites and against bringing equality to the "bedroom tax" KT is astonished that Liam Bryne is allowed by labour to comment on money/tax/state spending matters after his infamous letter :

"'Dear Chief Secretary, I'm afraid to tell you there's no money left,' He claimed it was "Dark Humor " then again Labour still have Andy "Mid Staffs" Burnham as shadow health sec......

Update : KT has just come across a labour cllr opposing the "bedroom tax" that his own party introduced :Via bryonyparce

Treating voters like stupid fools, class war and hypocrisy, A good example of "One nation" labour!

KT has circled the £42 million for a reason, you see just in 2009 Guido Fawkes reported this :

Oh! But that is not all Guido Fawkes says :

"Without exploiting the law they would have had to pay more than £50 million in tax!"

If the Guardian had paid its "fair share " of tax then those cuts may not have been so harsh.KT is used to champagne socialists being hypocrites, but the Guardian is up there with the Labour Party when it comes to tax avoidance hypocrisy

The houses of parliament and its inhabitants are rightly mocked by left and right for being two faced, so it is news when consistency is shown.

Today in Parliament there was a debate on banning page 3 of the Sun and one of the speakers was Green party MP Caroline Lucas who decided to wear a "No More Page 3" t-shirt ( link to video)

"Green MP Caroline Lucas
has been told to cover up a T-shirt displaying the slogan "No More Page
Three" in large lettering during a Commons debate.

She wore the white T-shirt at the start of a debate on media sexism.Chairman of the session, Labour's Jimmy Hood, interrupted her
and told her to "put her jacket back on" and comply with Westminster's
dress code."
